About our Writing Retreats

Cancer Chronicles is a two-day creative retreat which provides those affected by cancer a safe, supportive space to share their cancer journey through storytelling. ​ Together, participants explore the stories of their unique cancer journey with the help of a facilitator who guides each of them in crafting a focused narrative.  Participants will share their stories with each other, family, and friends during a private celebration of readings and inspirational live music. The sharing of stories helps the storyteller process the cancer experience and reclaim their voice, while listeners can learn from “one who knows.”

Unleash Your Story

​Our Cancer Chronicles Writing Retreats offer a safe and supportive space to explore your cancer journey through guided writing and shared reflection. Set in beautiful surroundings, these retreats invite honesty, connection, and the quiet transformation that can come from simply being heard. 
​Our next retreat is July 19th & 20th!

"Thank you for giving me the opportunity to find my voice. The workshop was incredible... We all learned how different our stories were - yet so similar."
